New York has had enough of the old playbook
New York does not need another manager. It needs a mayor who understands who the city is really for—and who is willing to fight to make that true. We believe Zohran Mamdani is best placed to do that.

A handshake, a medal, and the choreography of realpolitik
Trump may not win the Nobel. Oslo may smile and move on. But Pakistan has already reclaimed what it truly sought: relevance. The gesture may seem excessive, but it’s a quiet re-entry into a room it refuses to be locked out of: a step back into Washington’s good graces.
The bloody parasitic imperial whore
In a world which rewards champagne exiles and punishes resistance, Khawaja Asif chose authenticity over platitude. In doing so, he said what much of the global south quietly thinks: those who bathe in imperial perfume do not speak for the oppressed.
A trio for the ages
They didn’t posture or perform. They didn’t arrive with placards or pleadings. This trio threaded law, loss, and logic with the calibration of those who knew the weight of what they represent and the silence which usually follows them into Western rooms; this time, they are refusing to let that silence survive.
Reason in a region addicted to fire
In a world drunk on the drumbeat of war, it takes uncommon nerve to whisper restraint. Yesterday, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari did just that—softly, firmly, devastatingly—from the podium of the United Nations.
Dar’s quiet line
Ishaq Dar, as Pakistan's foreign and deputy prime minister, resisted the urge, so common in crises, for maximalist posturing. He did not parade diplomatic telegrams for public approval. He did not pick Twitter fights. He kept Pakistan’s tone serious and sober.
Free of Britain, recolonised in saffron
In Narendra Modi, the RSS has found not just a leader but a messiah; one with the political cunning of an autocrat and the populist charisma of a televangelist. Under his watch, textbooks have been rewritten, history sanitised, minorities demonised, and a billion people convinced that all of this is progress.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
Showcasing its air superiority, the Pakistan Air Force outmanoeuvred and outclassed India’s French Rafales, shattering the illusion of Hindutva-fuelled dominance in South Asian skies, proving this latest cross-border skirmish wasn’t just a dogfight—it was the moment the PAF reclaimed its throne above the clouds.
Dassault’s Rafale raffle backfires for the Indians
India’s €7 billion Rafale programme suffered a severe credibility blow when three aircraft were reportedly downed during the cross‑border strikes, erasing some 2.6% in Dassault’s market value within hours. This reframes the Rafale from “game‑changer” to cautionary example, strengthening Pakistan’s diplomatic hand and undermining India’s deterrence strategy.
India’s Sikhs will never know how much Pakistan loves them
It is unfortunate to write that India's Sikhs may never fully grasp the depth of Pakistan’s affection because that affection is filtered through a wall of suspicion built by the Indian state, which views any bridge extended westward as inherently suspect.
